Does anyone know the theme song and/or where I can download it? [The theme is a cover of The Smiths' 'How Soon Is Now' by a band called 'Love Spit Love'. The Soundtrack is available if you search around for it.] Answered by umathegreatstationarybear In the theme song, are the lyrics "I am the son/and the heir" or "I am the sun and the air" Because they both seem to fit. [It's "I am the son, I am the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. I am the son and heir of nothing in particular."] Answered by Tailkinker Why can't Paige heal people? I've only ever seen her heal about one person. Is there any particular reason for this? [Chris explains in the episode "Valhalley of the Dolls" that healing is extremely difficult, and can only be done by accomplished Whitelighters. Paige has only had her powers for a few years and is only half-Whitelighter, so she can only heal people when Leo helps her.] How much (roughly) do the main actors get paid per episode? [it is rumored that shannen, Alyssa, and Holly were paid from $30,000-$50,000 an episode for the first 3 seasons. It is also rumored that Alyssa was given up to $80,000 for the other seasons, and Holly was given $60,000. (Not confirmed. Got answers from http://members.aol.com/rexfelis3/faq/faqcast.htm).] Series 8 started airing in the U.S in September of last year and the U.K early this year. It will end in the US 3 weeks before the UK. Why if there was such a large difference in original airdates are they finishing so close together? [This is down to the ways that the respective countries show series. The U.S. will often stop in mid-series and show repeats, dragging out a series of twenty-odd episodes over forty or more weeks, whereas the U.K. will just run straight through a series from beginning to end. As a result, the U.K. tend to catch up, or, as has happened on a few occasions, actually overtake the U.S. schedule.] Answered by Tailkinker If "Whitelighters" are "technically" dead how is it Leo can do everything human? Eat, drink, feel, love, oh and father children. As well as when "Grams" and Patty came back they often came in human form at least some of the time? [They are given a new physical body that has the "triple helix" DNA like witches.] Answered by Myridon In season 8, the sisters and Leo change their names. Paige becomes Jo, Phoebe becomes Julie, Leo becomes Louie, but what did Piper change to? [Her name was Jenny when she was the Blonde and Jamie as the brunette.] Answered by Dedderbot In the first few seasons, the Charmed Ones can retrieve a spell from the Book Of Shadows by just hovering their hands over the book & the book will turn to the correct page. However, in later seasons they have to turn pages manually. Why? [They weren't searching the book. They were "concentrating" and their ancestors (Grams specifically) were helping them search. Later, they begin to know what to look for.] Answered by shortdanzr In the early seasons, the Charmed Ones were able to communicate telepathically but they don't use this ability anymore. Why? [There was one episode where Piper an Pru cast a spell to hear other people's thoughts. That was the only time they communicated with each other telepathically (just Pru and Piper).] Answered by Maria Santos There are many instances of these characters manipulating time (i.e. Chris comes back to change the future so Wyatt is good, and there's all that back and forth in the series finale to make things turn out the way they want). Is there ever any explanation given as to why they never manipulated time to go back and prevent Prue from dying? Obviously it was necessary for the production, since Shannen Dougherty left, but is it ever addressed by the characters, plot-wise? [The witches' time travel spells could never be specific enough. They had to rely on the Source to reverse time more accurately to save Piper and keep magic from being exposed. It's assumed that Chris has the knowledge to go back to the right time. In the series finale you see that Piper has trouble going to the right periods of time (Going back to when Patty was pregnant with Phoebe, going to the future where she's the grandmother when she wanted to get to grams etc.)] Answered by Maria Santos Are there any outtakes/bloopers anywhere for the show?Deja Vu All Over Again (series 1)
What is the song called that is played at the end, and who sings it? [You're probably talking about 'Calling All Angels' by Jane Siberry. It's available on her album 'Whe I Was a Boy.']The Truth Is Out There... and It Hurts (series 1)
How come in this episode when Andy asks Pru if her kids will inherit powers she says "If they're girls, they will"? Why will only the girls inherit their powers? We know this is not true, both Wyatt and Chris have powers, Wyatt has them even before he is born. [Wyatt and Chris have whitelighter powers, not Witch powers, Wyatt is more powerful because of his destiny to be a powerful being but essentially he is a whitelighter not a Witch. Unless Pru had children with a demon or a whitelighter, only the girls would have powers.] Answered by Vianna7ukDead Man Dating (series 1)
Does anybody know the name of the song that is playing when Mark is giving the recipes to Piper? ["Hush, Hush, Hush" Paula Cole.]Something Wicca This Way Comes (series 1)

In the title sequence for season 2 there is a shot of Prue in Bucklands wearing black and she moves a vase across her desk. Does anybody know what episode it's from? [It is from the first episode "Something Wicca This Way Comes".] Answered by DedderbotMagic Hour (series 3)

What is the name of the song played at Prue's funeral? [This song is Bell, Book & Candle by Eddi Reader.] At the wake, Phoebe interrupts two people talking, and she says in passing, "Excuse me, Aaron." Is this Aaron Spelling in a cameo? Does he make others throughout the series? [This is not an Aaron Spelling cameo.] Answered by DedderbotSam I Am (series 5)
I don't get how Sam can be in this episode. He died in the episode P3 H2O and we see his spirit walk away with Patty yet here he is in this episode alive. Could someone explain for me. [He complains in the episode about how the Elders brought him back.] Answered by Maria SantosYou may also like: Buffy The Vampire Slayer | Friends | Iron Man | Titanic | Sweeney Todd
